The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are undefeated, but all four of their wins have been close because quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found ways to win. The Saints are on a two-game losing streak that leaves them at 2-2, but when they were good, they were excellent.

The Chiefs are comfortable 5 1/2-point favorites, more than home court is worth, so they are expected to win.

Chiefs vs Saints injury report

New Orleans Saints

The Saints will be without Taysom Hill for the second straight game, but dealing with his loss isn’t as challenging as the offensive line. Center Erik McCoy is on IR with a groin injury, and the man filling in for him, Shane Lemieux, is out again with an ankle injury.

New Orleans also has problems with the interior of the line. Right guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) will be out for the second straight week, and there’s a good chance left guard Lucas Patrick (ankle) could sit as well. That leaves the Saints with tackles rookie Taliese Fuaga and Trevor Penning as the only Week 1 starters on the offensive line entering tonight’s game. Fuaga is dealing with knee and back injuries, but should play.

Kansas City Chiefs

Marquise Brown has yet to play after suffering an injury during preseason. Clyde Edwards-Helaire started the season on the PUP list. Isiah Pacheco has been out since suffering a fibula injury in Week 2. Rashee Rice is out with a knee injury and it is still unclear how much time he will miss.
